I had called Dave's mom to check up and see how she was doing. She told me they had an appt. for a viewing at the funeral home. I expressed surprise. She invited us to tag along. We did.
I was greatly appreciative of the quiet time to be with Dave and to be able to explain more to the littles. They were able to question, and touch and be in the moment without outside prejudices. They wanted many different angles to see. There was no tension. Just love and tenderness.
My mom came with us so she too got to say good bye. It was good. And now when we go next week for the service the littles will have a little better understanding of what the place is and what the funeral is all about.
I really am grateful to Gayle for the invite to tag along. Wouldn't have even knew there was the possibility if I hadn't called her. Amazing how things work out the way they are suppose to sometimes no matter what anyone else thinks.
